Aura Bath and Spa Paint

11 years ago

I am new to this forum and need advise. A friend just painted our basement bath with BM Aura bath and spa in the matte finished in "white sand". It looks nice but we got a pencil mark on it accidentally. It is most difficult to remove. I am concerned if I will be able to wash these walls down ever. It says you can but I would like to know if it is easy to wash the walls with this paint. BM salesperson also sold us Aura paint in a Matte finished in a earthy brown for trim and the cabinet and am worried if I will be able to wipe down the cabinet and baseboards if required. I just do not want to repaint. How long do I have to wait before I could wipe down the walls if smudges, etc. We have so much paint left over of the Bath and Spa we decided to do the stairwell going upstairs. Perhaps this is not a good idea? Especially if difficult to wipe down. Anyone have problems wiping down marks etc on walls using the above paints? Help.
Thanks for any help, please.

Someone stated on this forum somewhere that paint for a bathroom should be with a gloss where the Aura B&S is a matte. I am just concerned that I can wipe down easilly the matte finish. What can I use to get the pencil mark off without taking the paint color off or fading that spot. Or do I wait the 30 days?
Any comments on the stairwell using the matte finish.

Yea, I am a newbie.

The Aura B&S only comes in matte and is scrubbable. I've gotten a few little marks and they wiped off right after painting. I would wait at least the 30 days to try to scrub a pencil mark off. It does touch up without notice. I've rollered over a small area already and cannot see it. This is not viewable in daylight, however.

I asked the BM paint store whether the extra paint could be used elsewhere and he said that was fine. It contains mold and mildew inhibitors but nothing else to worry about.

Seems I'm making up words according to spellcheck, lol. But I think you can get the message :)
